Jason Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 YUp - I've seen them on a Vit - looked beefy :-) Remember that Green Vitesse Saloon Canley's had for sale, the one with the red interior - that had them on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Surely important to get the right offsets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roly Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 i guess that is the important bit i need to get rightworst case is i'll have to measure up the clearences from the hub face to the guards etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve AKA vitessesteve Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I remember a chap in the Worcester area had 14's on his Vitesse. He is an occasional contributor to Practical Classics - sorry can not remember his name at present.His car was much modified triple webbers, mega sound system etc so there may have been work done to get wheels to fit.

heraldcoupe Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Is that the Black Vitesse with the sound system's power amplifier attached to the petrol tank? Cheers,Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve AKA vitessesteve Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Yes think so. I certainly remember it had a mega sound system. If he used the remote hifi control to max the volume you could see the door skins flex and hear the engine note change to keep up with the electric being drawn into the amp. I now remember that black Vitesse was and is still owned by Richard Dredge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
